Need Microsoft works to Windows Office 2003 converter

[sterling]

HI All

I originally typed my resume with a older Microsoft Works program. I built a new computer a couple of months ago and the word processor im using is from Microsoft Office 2003. Now when i insert my floppy
that contains my resume, I get a message that says windows cannot open this file, to open this file windows needs to know what program created it. Is there a converter program that will allow me to use this old floppy so I dont have to retype my resume? Can you tell me where to find it?

thanks

The version of Works that your old files were created in will be the determining factor, not the version of Windows that you were using at the time. One way to find out for sure though... Install this converter, load your old Works documents and post back your results.

There is an older version of this converter which might work, just in case this one doesn't. I'll try to dig up a link for that one.

Here is a list of the old versions of the "Works Converter" utility.

I recommend trying the latest version first. If that is unsuccessful, then work your way into the older releases of the converter until you are able to open & convert your old documents to Word format.

Post your results back to this thread if you need more help.

Good luck!
